Contra La Nostalgia
G
I try to pull my weight, study my geography
A D
It doesn't seem to get me anywhere
G
I hold a picture up, everybody thinks it's me
A D
I get a thrill out of tampering with the atmosphere
Bm G
Hey baby, I'm out of favour
Bm D
Can't always be the right flavour
G
It just seems that no matter what you do
A
Someone, somewhere's suddenly gotta punish you
CHORUS

today i felt the weight compelling
not the first it's not the best ive been
no thoughts come out worth saying
self-tension has limited
what am i comitting my self too
resistance is going no where
it still counts
to you more than anything
when your around
pocket all of my attention
filter out you
Comiting my self too
Resistance is going no where
it still counts
too you more than anything
when your around
pocket all of my attention
filter out you
today i felt the weight compelling
not the first it's not the best ive been
no thoughts come out worth saying
self tension has limited
what you make its voice as happen
as simple as it seems and is
fault touches no one
it just happens
no one wins
i guess it all depends in the way
tomorow I'll feel the weight times ten
no thoughts to speak
no self expression
complacency is all I need
insight of what's important to me
you don't know me
just pretend to
important to me isn't to you
why I seal off all connections
self tension has got to end
